New Executive vice-chairman and Charlton director who replaces Peter Varney today.

Hard act to follow without doubt but he will hopefully strengthen the club. Will be interesting to see what he brings to the brings to the table. He certainly has an impressive CV from his time with Umbro.

Will invite him to a Q & A at Bromley when he's got his feet under the table.

    Yea, when he got to the Valley he said "I thought this was supposed to be South London, it's practically fcuking Kent!".

    I heard that he's in hospital as a result of this incident and is in the throes of suing the club for £2.6 million.

    I think tomorrow is the anniversary of Martin Prothero's arrival. How can we assess and evaluate his first year. What have been his biggest achievements and do we think he has been money well spent. In fact. How much is MP actually pulling down ?

    Over to you.

    He does a great impression of the two well known characters

    The invisible man
    The quiet man

    Prothero arrived in mid August, about the 15th. It was claimed he would start work on August 1st, but he was on a cruise at the time, I believe. Or maybe a private boat.

    Then I was premature and not for the first time. In any case he's now fifty weeks in.
